Biography

Esther Amos was born on 16 April 1711 in Preston, New London, Connecticut Colony. Her parents were John and Sarah (Morgan) Amos.[1][2]

Esther married Ebenezer Leonard on 6 May 1730, in Preston.[2][3]

Ebenezer and Esther had children, not all listed in the Preston vital records:[2]

  1. Esther (1731) [4]
  2. Sarah (1733) [5]
  3. Elizabeth (1735), died young
  4. Elizabeth (1737) [6]

  11. Ebenezer (1753) [12]

Esther and Ebenezer moved to Worthington, Hampshire, Massachusetts, perhaps about 1769 with their son Amos. Esther is mentioned in Ebenezer's will of April 1781. Ebenezer's probate was started 5 February 1782. No further record has been found for Esther. She probably spent her last years living with the family of one of her children who also moved to the Worthington area.
